Chamakh: Braga win can ease pain

Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh believes the best way for the Gunners to put the disappointing defeat to arch-rivals Tottenham behind them is to respond with a Champions League victory over Braga on Tuesday.

Arsene Wenger's side threw away a 2-0 half-time lead during Saturday's north London derby at Emirates Stadium, where victory would have sent them top of the Premier League.

Wenger lamented the inability of his young side to deliver a big performance when it mattered most as they suffered a second successive home defeat.

But Chamakh - who took his tally to nine goals with a close-range effort - feels having a match so quickly is the perfect opportunity to put that disappointment behind them.
